Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA • WXXI-TV

WXXI TV

A white man with blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail and a blond beard wearing a gray tee and leather vest plays an electric guitar alongside another white man with short brown hair wearing a gray collared shirt and Black vest also playing an electric guitar.

Enjoy a front row seat to this 2014 high-energy performance by the legendary Gregg Allman and his eight-piece solo band!

Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA airs Friday, March 8 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV.

The broadcast program features nine tracks and the PBS Passport version features an additional seven songs, including selections from the Allman Brothers Band (ABB) catalog, tunes from Allman’s solo albums and several dynamic cover songs. Hits performed include “I’m No Angel,” “Melissa” and “Midnight Rider.”

Allman summarized the experience of recording live in Macon thusly: “Macon is a wonderful town with wonderful people, and I still have some dear, dear friends there. Macon holds a special place in my heart; it comes with a lot of different memories, but the good ones are all that matter to me now. I’m so proud of this album; boy, we were smokin’ that night.”

Allman is one of the most acclaimed and beloved icons in rock and roll history. As a founding member of the legendary Allman Brothers Band and in his own storied solo career, Allman was a gifted natural interpreter of the blues, his soulful and distinctive voice one of the defining sounds in the history of American music.

 At the 54thAnnual Grammy Awards in 2012, the Allman Brothers Band was honored with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, in part a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the group’s seminal album Eat a Peach. Allman himself, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, was also nominated for Best Blues Album for his acclaimed first solo record in 13 years, Low Country Blues. Allman died due to complications from liver cancer at his home in Savannah, Ga., on May 17, 2017. He played his last show October 29, 2016 at his own Laidback Festival in Atlanta.
